Sunday 28th April 2024 Meet me by the entrance of the tube
Morning!
Lyrics: Meet me by the entrance of the tube
We can talk things over a little time
Promise me you won't step out of line
Line two onwards
Yesterday's were Madonna with La Isla Bonita
What: stretches
Hope today's racers go well!
I enjoyed yesterday's photos, Team OH!
And another decent result, Emz! And yes, time you headed north!
Enjoy the snooker, Dustin!
A shame that you weren't over here longer, Hazel!
When's Chick back?
SC? Chamolk?

We're doing Indian with our Dutch friends too this evening before heading in different directions tomorrow.
Rather anxious before the start. I had not pinned a number on since 2019 and have only done this distance, 10k, at a slow jog in recent years. Also being admitted for op on Tuesday.
Good to meet up with our Dutch running friends the day before and travelled in with them. Long queues to get parked then a scramble for the portaloos. Although it had been a cool damp morning it was now turning into a bright sunny day with car thermometer reading 9⁰C. Shorts t-shirt., hat and suncream were the order of the day.
Lined up with our Dutch friends at the start along with ~1700 other runners. About midway at start but couldn't hear the start gun and took 4 minutes to get across the start line.
Left sided impact pain all the way round but got no worse. Aim was to get around without injuring or killing myself with a thought that I'd be delighted if I got under 90m.
First 3k were along a flattish rough tarmac road going reasonably steadily. At the foot of the long hill we were encouraged on our way by a 6piece pipe band. The hill was power walked by me in common with all those around me. Over the top of the hill and past the 5k mark in about my usual parkrun time. Had to take it steadily down the initial steep downhill due to leg pain but once the gradient eased was able to lengthen my stride into a steady 11.x m/m.
Realised I was going to make my 90m aspiration with ease and feeling relatively strong, I felt good.
Crossed the line 76m05.
Very pleased with that result and far from last.
(Would likely have been one of the last with that time at home 10k with smaller numbers.)
Mets by Elspeth and our Dutch friends having picked up my Crathie Kirk medal and race. T-shirt.
Another half hour queuing to get out of Balmoral grounds before ice-cream in Ballater.
Not a fast result in general scheme of things but a good confidence booster for me.
Nice unintended pacing work Wabo. Plenty of time until your HM but good to get an early start.
Glad you are OK OH. Thanks for the report, enjoyed reading that. Sneaky look at the results says Els did great too. Hope she wasn't too cold in the shorts. Have a nice meal with your friends.
MLR went OK, plenty of hillage involved so pretty slow.
Which match did you see Dustin? I've seen one live many years ago at the Masters.
Volunteered at parkrun this morning. Lucas' first run on his own. He did amazingly and picked up his marathon band too (21 junior parkruns). Not bad for just over 7 months of parkrunning.
Then walk across some bluebell woods.
Followed by just over 8km run.
